4th Annual Awareness Night for Gastroparesis & Dysautonomia

You’re invited to the 4th Annual Night of Support & Awareness for Gastroparesis & Dysautonomia, which takes place on Sunday, July 10 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Park Place Banquet Hall, located at 23400 Park Street, Dearborn, MI. Gastroparesis & Dysautonomia affect millions of Americans but there’s very limited research and awareness for both diseases.

Past speakers have shared their journey fighting both diseases and how it affects them on a daily basis. This year’s MC and speakers will be announced ASAP. Every year, UMHS Gastroenterologist Dr. Rafat Rizk also speaks about Gastroparesis & Dysautonomia from a clinical standpoint.

All proceeds are split between two Non Profit Organizations: Dysautonomia International & the Gastroparesis and Dysmotility (GPD) Foundation.

Dinner & dessert is provided. A soup option is available, upon request, for those on a liquid diet. All chicken served is halal. If there are additional food restrictions, please contact Dalia Chokr ASAP (dchokr@gmail.com).

There will be a raffle! Raffle tickets cost $1 each or 6 tickets for $5. Additionally, there will be a henna artist from Cedar Forest Henna. Make sure to bring cash for both the raffle & henna!
